+If the EGG computer is behind a firewall, it must be programmed
+to allow UDP packets on port 2510 outgoing packet and UDP port
+1105 for an incoming connection.

+This allows the bidirectional communication required for the data
+to be transmitted. What happens is that your program sends an
+"awake" packet when it has unsent data. The server in Princeton
+responds with a "data request" packet, and then the EGG program
+will send the data.

+This package is known to compile but not run successfully on at 
+least the amd64 architecture.  The only architecture it has really
+been tested on is i386...  If anyone is sufficiently motivated
+to chase down and fix whatever the problem is, patches would be 
+welcomed!
